Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

I welded and milled the back side of my timing cover. My welders, like most of my tools aren't top of the line but not bottom of the barrel. This is my first attempt at TIGing aluminum. I have no idea what alloy they are or if they are the same. 4043 rod was recommended and that is what I used. I took my time letting it cool down. I would be doing fine and then a crater of trash would appear and the fun began. Some pits appeared when I milled it but not in the gasket line. I may fix them after I weld the other side.
